In addition to e-books, there is also movies, audio books and music available for temporary download.

Up to four books can be checked out at a time. Audio and ebooks may be kept for up to 30 days and then will automatically be deleted.

Movies can be downloaded for seven days. Library users have a weekly download limit on MP3s.

If anyone needs assistance setting up an account or syncing it to a device, the library is open from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. till 1 p.m. Saturday.
